Written, directed and produced by Metcalf, “The Lost Tree” is centered around a man (Nicholas) who leaves his old life behind after a horrific tragedy and moves to an isolated cabin to start over. He soon learns of the surroundings of the area and its dangerous past.

Additional casting announcements will be made in the coming weeks. Principal photography is slated to begin in October. “The Lost Tree” is Red Compass Media, Inc. production. Producers are Nicholas, Metcalf and Ben Chan.

“Brian has such a unique vision for the characters and stories that he creates,” said Nicholas. “I’m always excited to help bring his ideas to life and ‘The Lost Tree’ is a chance for me to explore my dramatic roots as an actor.”

Said Metcalf, “It’s great to be collaborating with Thomas Nicholas again as he brings such insight and depth to the project.”

Nicholas is repped by Sheila Wenzel of Innovative Artists. Metcalf is repped by Michael Pio of Innovative Artists and Matt Galsor of Greenberg Glusker.
